Blind Spot. 1.1-1.10. Installation view of the exhibition "A Promise of tomorrow" at Frontviews at HAUNT gallery, Berlin, DE, 2024
This works made in the technique of Orthodox iconography. But we don't see certain images, the glossy surface reflects us, unifying and blurring the image we see. Fleeting reflection on the surface. This series is not only about what is happening now, but also in general about history repeating itself and the endless violence in the world. We don't know the fate of the many people who died, we only see numbers and statistics.
Can human beings be understood in their irrational horror? Can his essence be grasped in a moment of utter despair?
We can speak of fear as something concrete and tangible. Horror, on the other hand, has no object. It is linguistically ineffable, refers to something inexpressible with the means of expression.
"Total nothingness, a silent scream".
For us, the world of war is a reality "abandoned by God". The Christian concept of "dark night" refers to the state of the "soul". It is in a state of "total
alienation" from the love of God and is left to man's own resources, where man himself becomes hell.
In these works, the artist uses the method of desacralisation to show the all-consuming horror and torpor that cannot be grasped by ordinary thinking.
Psychophysical degradation is the essence of war, and violence, blood and death are the accompanying special effects.
